Property Description

Elevated in one of Redcliffs' most coveted coastal positions, this exceptional architecturally designed residence commands uninterrupted panoramic ocean views stretching from Pegasus Bay and the Kaikoura Ranges, across Christchurch city and beyond to the Southern Alps.

Designed by award-winning architect Stewart Ross, this exceptional home combines considered architecture, natural materials and quality craftsmanship, thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into its dramatic volcanic rock hillside setting. Perfectly positioned with a north-west aspect, the home captures abundant natural light and the last of the day's setting sun, making the most of its elevated and enviable 1500sqm setting.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the ever-changing outlook throughout the expansive open-plan living and dining area, where beautiful timber flooring adds warmth and natural character, while the views become an integral part of everyday life. A thoughtfully designed kitchen forms a functional anchor for everyday living and entertaining, while bifold windows open directly to a balcony, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for morning coffee while taking in the stunning views. A striking double-sided feature gas fire creates warmth and atmosphere between the living spaces, complemented by heat pumps.

The impressive over-height ceilings in the main entrance create a wonderful sense of space and lead through to a gallery-style hallway, connecting four generous double bedrooms, each with access out to the deck. The main suite is a private retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the fourth bedroom/studio offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, working from home or creative pursuits.

Adding further distinction, the elevated crow's nest office provides an inspiring and private space to work, read or simply take in the remarkable views.

The lower level delivers a boutique entertainment experience, featuring a private theatrette and lounge with red velvet curtains, projector and surround sound.

Practicality is equally well considered with a carpeted oversized double garage offering secure vehicle accommodation and additional workshop space, plus the addition of off-street parking.

Outside, the landscaping is an architectural feature in its own right. A sculptural volcanic rock garden, winding stone paths, hardy succulents and a tranquil pond create a distinctive, low-maintenance sanctuary that beautifully complements the home's natural materials and coastal surroundings.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial architecturally designed home where privacy, elevation and extraordinary views come together. The home is just a short drive down to Redcliffs and around to Sumner, while the coastal pathway provides an easy connection through Ferrymead and towards the CBD. For those who enjoy the outdoors, an extensive network of hill walking and biking tracks are on your doorstep. Zoned for Te Raekura Redcliffs School.

With a change in circumstances for our owners, this is a rare opportunity to purchase this special property.
